About Ssangyong Divesite 3
This is a good place to drift. The depths reach 26m but generally stay closer to 19m. This is an area that stays swept clean of anything really cool by the current. The water in this area is also colder than the surrounding waters. This is not an area for underwater sightseeing, but is a great place for training for Advanced open water or intro to drift diving. The leeward side of this island is a great place for a night dive as many small octopus come out to hunt here.

Dive Site Hazards

  • Landmark Misidentification — Familiar sites can become unrecognisable at night.

  • Light-Induced Tunnel Vision — Focused light beams reduce peripheral awareness.

  • Depth Perception Errors — Reduced ambient light increases depth perception mistakes.

  • Eddy Pull-Off Zones — Eddies behind structures can pull divers away from the main drift line.

  • Delayed Surface Pickup — Strong current can exceed surface tracking assumptions, delaying boat pickup.

  • Vertical Current Shear — Currents may vary by depth, causing vertical separation even when divers stay together.

  • Bubble Trapping Under Overhangs — Rock overhangs can trap exhaled bubbles, reducing visibility and causing disorientation.

  • Reflected Surge Patterns — Surge reflecting off rock faces can create irregular and unpredictable water movement.

  • Current Funnel Effect — Narrow gaps between rocks can accelerate water flow unexpectedly.
